LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.
U. S. Department of AgtRiculture,
Division of Entomology,
Washington, D. C, June 12, 1889.
Sir : In the absence of Professor Eiley, who is now at the Paris Ex-
position in official capacity, I beg to submit for publication Parts I, II, and
III of the Bibliography of American Economic Entomology, which was
ordered by Congress in July, 1882. Owing to various unforeseen delays
this work has not yet been completed. Its preparation was originally
assigned by Professor Riley to Mr. B. Pickman Mann, formerly of this
Division, and upon the severance of his connection with the Depart-
ment, in the fall of 1885, it was turned over in an incomplete and frag-
mentary condition to Mr. Samuel Henshaw, of Boston, who has added
greatly to it and practically rewritten the portions already prepared.
The extent of the work renders it advisable to publish it in several
parts, and as there is unquestionably a more urgent need on the part of
working economic entomologists for a bibliography of the writings of
B. D. Walsh and C. V. Riley than of others, on account of their great
number and value, these portions have been finished first. Their imme-
diate publication will probably antecede the publication of the final part
only by a few months.
Very respectfully, yours,
L. O. Howard,
Acting Entomologist.
Hon. J. M. Rusk,
Secretary of Agriculture.

INTRODUCTION TO PARTS I, II, AND III.
The object of the present lists is to record the principal entomolog-
ical writings of B. D. Walsh and C. V. Riley. Few will be likely to
criticize the association of the names of Walsh and Riley in a list of this
kind, so largely devoted to economic entomology, or to question the
desirability of collating their writings in advance of others.
As recognized authorities upon entomology, especially from an
economic standpoint, their writings have been extensively quoted
sometimes with, but frequently without, credit in the agricultural and
horticultural journals of the day. These secondary references, though
of a certain value when the original is inaccessible, have, as a rule,
been omitted. In citing such as are given I have used my personal
judgment. To have given all would have increased the size of the list
considerably with but a slight increase in its usefulness.
Occasionally, a publisher to meet some popular demand puts the
writings of an author into book form without the knowledge of the
latter. Such an occurrence has happened more than once with Dr.
Riley's writings. To mention but one : In 1877 Messrs. George Rut-
ledge & Sons, of London, published " The Colorado beetle, with sug-
gestions for its repression and methods of destruction," with Dr. Riley's
name upon the title-page as author. This is a partial reprint of Potato
Pests entirely unsanctioned and published without knowledge of the au-
thor. (See London Times, October 17, 1887.) These publishers' re-
prints are omitted from this list. The " S.-b." after the reference of many
of the articles from the agricultural and other journals refers to the
series of scrap-books used in divisional work.
A biographical sketch of Dr. Walsh is given in the second volume of
the American Entomologist, Vol. II, No. 3, pp. 65-68, January, 1870.
The chief facts in Dr. Riley's life may be found in the "Common-
wealth of Missouri" (1875) and the I\'ational Farmer, Seittember 20, 1883.
In the preparation of the list I have freely used all data accumulated
by the Division, notably the work of Mr. B. P. Mann and a private
list of Dr. Riley's.
Many persons, both within and without the Department, have kindly
answered my inquiries. — S. H.

gust-September, 1864, V. 3, pp. 207-249.
Discussion of statements, chiefly by Prof. L. Agassiz, upon questions in gen-
eral entomology. The memoir is divided into sections ; in the first, the dis-
tribution of insects in North America is discussed in opposition to the
views of Agassiz ; in the second section the Darwinian theory of the origin
of species is discussed and some remarks on the variation of several species
are added; in the third and fourth sections the statements of Prof. Agas-
siz regarding the worm-like larva stage of insects and the resemblances
between the pupa? of insects and the Crustacea are discussed and criticised;
in the fifth section the author argues that the relative rank of the diflfer-
ent orders of insects must be determined from a consideration of all the
characters of each order and not from the significance of any one character ;
the sixth section is a review of Dana's classification of insects on the prin-
ciple of cephalization ; and in the seventh section several erroneous state-
ments and generalizations in the same author's paper on classification are
pointed out.
45. Walsh, B, D. On phytophagic varieties and phytophagic species.
<Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil., i^ovember, 1864, v. 3, pp. 403-430.
Many species feed exclusively upon a single food-plant, while other species
feed upon many kinds; correlated with this are certain larval or imag-
inal difi'erences : when these different forms interbreed they are considered
the same species and are termed phytophagic varieties ; these when sepa-
rated with a single kind of food-plant form phytophagic races, and these
again by a continuation of their isolation form phytophagic species. Phy-
tophagous forms are most abundant where the imago is wingless. Dia-
pheromera velii, Timjis {_=Garga2)hia'] illia; and T. [;=;(7.] amorpho! are
described as new ; the following are mentioned in the remarks upon siiecies
and varieties: Haltica [_= Disonycha'] alternata, Chrysomela scalaria, Clytua
[^ Cyllene'] rohinice, C. [=C. J pictus, Dryocampa [= Sphingicampal hicolor,

Noxious insects less injurious in Missouri in 1869 than usual, 5 —
The army-worm and the grain plant-louse considerably injurious
in Missouri in 1869, 5 — The chinch-bug and the codliug-moth less
injurious, 6 — A species of Thrips destroying great numbers of the
Curculio, 6 — Eggs of the apple-tree plant-louse destroyed by in-
sect foes and birds, 6 — According to Dr. Hull the "scab " in ap-
ples is caused by the apple-tree plant-louse, 7 — The jjickle-worm
doing great damage during 1869, 7 — Importance of preventing
the introduction of injurious insects, 7 — Cultivation causes in-
sects to multiply unduly, 8 — More attention paid in Europe to
injurious insects than in this country, 8.
Imported insects and native American insects 8
The imported currant-worm much more injurious than the native,
8 — Other instances showing the greater destructiveness of im-
ported insect enemies than of their native representatives, 9 — Al-
most all our worst insect pests and pernicious weeds have been
introduced from Europe, 10 — Few American insects and plants
have become naturalized in Europe, 11 — The American fauna and

Cyrtoneura stabulans bred from pupse of Aletia argillacea [= xylina'] usual food
of this species ; doubt whether the species is a parasite or is only a scav-
enger in decayed pupae ; Phora aletice merely a scavenger ; great liability
of pupae of Aletia to decay

September [24 August], 1882, v. 16, p. 747.
Polycaon confertus bores in twigs of apple- and pear-trees and grape-vines;
the larvae probably live in the dead and dry wood of forest-trees.
